Sugar Princess, despite it’s girlish title and subject, is a title that deserves it’s “All Ages” rating. Though, I think a “G” (General Audiences) may be a better rating, as this book has the ability to appeal to everyone; old and young, male and female. It’s a short story, only lasting 2 volumes, but is […]
Issues brought up about how Diary of a Wimpy Kid should be classified doesn’t keep it from this list. I’m in agreement with those that say it’s not a graphic novel. Graphic novels must have have pictures integral to the storytelling, not just adding to it. But, like light novels from Japan, I think a […]
It’s feast time again, with a good list of books this week. You’ll see the Marvel section extended from now on, since I’ve put the limit on this list to 12 and under, that brings in their second tier rating of A (9-12) books. There’s both manga and comics this week from DC/CMX and Viz, […]
Publishers seem to be moving slowly into the new year. All the regulars are here, as well as some hard covers perfect for libraries. There’s more Doctor Who love, this time direct from across the pond, with a collection of stories written by the writers from the TV series. These hard covers are a tradition […]
Finding comics with female protagonists isn’t too difficult in comics today. But finding one that won’t give girls a complex about their chests, or make them the "damsel in distress" complicates things. Girls deserve a good role model just as much as boys, and Cinebook has done just that with their series, Yoko Tsuno, an […]
It’s the beginning of a new year, and like so many bank accounts, this weeks list is looking very bare. It’s a week for media based books though. DC has their anthology of Cartoon Network-based stories, and Tokyopop has a "cinemanga" of Camp Rock, a popular Disney Channel movie. And I just can’t help not […]
The All Ages comics and manga category grew quite a bit in 2008, as publishers returned to attracting young readers instead of trying to maintain a status quo of existing comic fans. Of course, that means that more books have come out, but publishers haven’t done very much to inform people of their titles. That’s […]
MERRY CHRISTMAS! This week’s list is just a lot of the usual monthly titles; Archie, DC, and Marvel. Dark Horse makes a rare apprearance with its new Star Wars Clone Wars series, and Harper Collins/Tokyopop has the second in the latest Warriors manga out. So, there’s not big rush to hit the comic shop this […]
It’s history week on the list! Cinebook takes us back to the 1940s, the 1860s, and the days when buffalo roamed the plains. Sterling Press takes us back even further to the heyday of the Roman Empire! Let the kids think you’re giving them a break with these comics, and fool them into learning something! […]
It’s a week of the usual releases this time. Archie, DC Comics, Gemstone and Marvel. Doctor Who Classics starts up again, picking up where first series left off. Sonic the Hedgehog slowly creeps closer to 200, Mad Magazine is nearly at 500 and Walt Disney’s Comics & Stories is inches from 700. Marvel and DC […]
